Smartwatch and “elegant” have yet to go together.
Both Apple and Samsung products still demonstrate that there is a long way to go. Any device that attempts to replicate the phone will NOT, by functional definition and design, be “elegant” on the wrist.

First impression is that it looks really nice; hard to say how functional when reviewers can't take it out into the sunlight to see how it performs in a little bit of real world. I'm curious to know if the 3G version is truly stand alone, not requiring a phone to perform all functions (including payment.) That actually could be a deal maker for some, as an extra sim chip can even be free on some plans these days.

I like the bezel control - figured that eventually someone would nab onto that idea. The expected battery life I guess is standard now, though I've long grown used to the once a week charging for the Pebble.

Slightly disappointed that they've abandoned Android Wear - proprietary designs are really susceptible to becoming abandonware in a very short time. The unique charger is one more thing to pack while traveling.

All in all, it looks good, it appears to function moderately well, and has options that let you get some functionality on an over night trip. Another contender for the wrist, but it really is hard to justify the expense and extra hassle of use when I've already got a smart watch.
